In the long, hot Roman Summer of AD74, Marcus Didius Falco, private informer and spare-time poet, gives a reading for his family and 
friends. Things get out of hand as usual.
The event is taken over by Aurelius Chrysippus, a wealthy Greek banker and patron to a group of struggling writers, who offers to publish
 Falco's work - a golden opportunity that rapidly palls.
A visit to the Chrysippusscriptorium implicates him in a gruesome literary murder so when Petronius Longus, the over-worked vigiles enquiry
 chief, commissions him to investigate, Falco is forced to accept.
